Trisha Paytas auditions for iconic Disney character but fans obsessed with outfit detail
The singer says she was inspired after watching videos of a small production
Trisha Paytas has revealed her audition for a Disney stage production, but her choice of attire has left fans distracted.
The singer and YouTuber shared her latest video on TikTok, where she confessed to having watched numerous clips of a stage show suggested by her 'For You' page.
The show in question is the Hunchback of Notre Dame, currently being performed at West Valley Arts in Utah, USA. Running until 30 August, the venue's website states that the show draws inspiration from both Victor Hugo's original novel and the Disney animated film.
It appears that sneak peeks of the show have sparked Trisha's interest, as she confesses her desire to star in the show herself. She also expressed her wish to travel and see the production in person.
Speaking directly to the camera in the clip, she says: "My entire FYP is this theatre in Utah, West valley it's called. Shout out Beatriz (Melo), she plays Esmerelda. She captivated me...so I started being like clicking her profile and seeing all the songs she's ever sang.", reports OK!.
"Then I started seeing the guy who plays the Hunchback and I think I would be a really good Hunchback for future productions so here's my audition."
However, she went on to admit: "I don't know Hunchback that well. I never liked it as a kid because I probably saw myself too much in Quasimodo and I suppose that was a bad thing back then but now I see myself as a Quasimodo and it's a great thing, I think it's a slay so we're embracing it."
She then starts belting out one of the show's numbers, though confesses she doesn't know the words properly so performs it karaoke-style.
The clip attracted hundreds of responses from her followers. Numerous fans applauded her for spotlighting smaller creators and intimate productions.
This sparked a response from the theatre's official account, who wrote: "Trisha, we are honoured that you love our theatre's content! Follow us for more, and come see Hunchback playing through August 30!"
One follower responded: "Trisha could NEVER be Quasimodo she's too stunning." Yet many were sidetracked by Trisha's wardrobe choice in the clip.
Whilst some complimented her vibrant pink locks, numerous viewers couldn't help but spot she was sporting a top featuring My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way. The text above reads Michael Romance.
One follower responded: "Need the shirt link." Another declared: "Trish I love you and your shirt is sooooo swag." Others remarked how they'd snapped up tickets for the band's recently revealed tour dates.
